What do I need to replace here?????

So I was getting the trucks ready for tomorrow and I noticed it has a lot of play in the area indicated (see pic). Also needs a new boot. This is the front/lower part of the truck.

So my question is, what do I need to replace?? I didn't wanna tear it down because my son will be opening his Summit for our X-mas (yeah, a tad early) tomorrow morning and I wanna cruise around in the snow with him. Is this area like a ball joint and does anyone have any ideas on what I need to order, or do I need to tear it apart first???

Check to make sure the retainer on the outside of the hub is still tight. Im assuming you mean the carrier wobbles in and out?
The blue plugs are sitting inside a retainer ring, possible it has backed out a bit. would leave a lot of play in the pillow ball.

Speaking of tinkering, I made my own clip holders and they turned out pretty cool. I had some old speaker wire laying around (even a transparent red). I looped the wire around back onto itself and then used shrink wrap on it. It's funny the stuff you can do with things laying around your shop!
